Kitchen assistant (m/f/d) – no weekend shifts

Working hours are only from Monday to Friday, approximately 7:30 am to 4:00 pm.

We have exciting tasks for you

You will take on responsibility as a kitchen assistant (m/f/d). You will be cooking for up to 68 people at the hesena St. Josef residence. Your job here is different from what you might expect – or be familiar with – because your team consists of our residents, whom you will guide and support.

You motivate, inspire, and empower your team, guiding them through the processes in your well-equipped kitchen and playing a vital role in their reintegration. You involve your exceptional kitchen team in planning, ordering, storage, hygiene, and other aspects of the kitchen, for which you bear primary responsibility. You implement the HACCP concept and keep a close eye on the bottom line.
